When Jule and Michael Kewenig commissioned Per Kirkeby for this outdoor sculpture, the Kewenig Gallery was still located in Haus Bitz. The Danish artist had been developing brick statues on the subject of the Huset<\/em> (house) since 1973, and continued with this 1992 work in Frechen.
\nThe exterior is a block-shaped construction with four walls. The square outline of the sculpture corresponds with the square church tower of the Heilig-Geist-Kirche situated across from it. Each wall has a tall, narrow window opening with a wide brick frame. These openings allow visitors to see inside of the roofless building, where they will find a maze-like internal structure that directs the light within the sculpture.
\nThese interior walls made the sculpture particularly controversial, as they form a reversed swastika when viewed from above.
\nMuch like other intentional or unintentional representations of the swastika in public spaces, people wanted it removed \u2013 even though the artist explained that it had to do with the idea of a labyrinth, while referring to the positive meaning of the symbol, which is known in many cultures as a stylized sun wheel.
\nThe sculpture is the third stop of the Keramikweg in Frechen.<\/p>\n
